Elroy, your POV here kind of goes sideways to the general thinking. I suspect a lot of it is due to your residence now in the Philippines. Which I regard, by the way, as not part of "Western Civ."

To most, Western Civilization is "Christendom." That is Europe from the Middle ages onward. And it's English speaking extensions. Australia, NZ, the USA, Canada. Israel is an outpost of Western Civilization in the middle of the third world hell-hole that comprises the Middle East. Would it be easier to work with the ME if Israel didn't exist? Of course. But it does exist and it is the spearhead for the 21'st Century Civilization in that area.

Islam is a Medieval Culture that stops cold any real prosperity and happiness in the areas it dominates. It will lose out, long term, because it's people get a good look at how Western Civ works and they want some.

A good example of why Western Civ wins? The Universe sings. So does Western Civ. Islam forbids it.
